Are Keychron switches supposed to die this fast?
Are you sure it is the switches? Have you done controlled experiments? For example, does a suspect switch still fail if inserted back in (in a different location)? Reseat before exchanging. Related: Keychron 2024 design and production quality issues with keychattering and missed keystrokes Keychron

Wireless keyboard opinions
I've used both Logitech and Keychron wireless keyboards with all of my Android phones and tablets, including my Pixel 8 Pro. I'll never get away completely from Logitech as long as they have trackballs (my wife's and my own preference over mice) and that their wireless keyboards work with modern com

Keychron is a joke
My two K1 Max Ultra-Slim keyboards operated wireless started out petty good, but after about one year they started repeating random keys. Mine was worse than my wife's but both do it. I tried charging them thinking maybe it was due to a low battery, but it didn't help. I've tried blowing them out wi

What debounce time do you have configured on your Keychron?
The 50 ms is for treating the symptoms for the Keychron 2024 design and production quality issues with keychattering and missed keystrokes. Until April 2025, the default for the gasket-mounted keyboards was 20 ms (also treating the symptoms). The 50 ms is only reflected in the source code for V3 Max

Should I buy the MX Mechanical now or wait for a refresh?
They’re great. I have the K1 Pro and K1 Max, both with brown switches and white backlighting. I have a slight preference for the newer K1 Max as they added acoustic foam which quiets down the keystrokes and makes typing feel more solid. It also seems like they’ve improved the material for the keycap

sometimes keys get stuck on repeat randomly when I'm typing on my Q5.
I have experienced the same issue with K1 Max, and my testing revealed that an issue with NKEY rollover (NKRO). If NKRO is in "unlimited" mode, I had issues with duplicate letter while typing. If NKRO was "limited" (so only a 6 keys can be activated at a time), the issue was immediately gone. I file

Keychron K17 Max QMK is my first disappointing keyboard in 20 years.
Re "Is this a common issue that people have experienced?": Yes, it is very common (132 and counting). For example, for another low-profile K Max series keyboard: Avoid Keychron at all costs! Keychron K1 Max is a disaster. Several special firmware versions from Keychron were tried (presumably changin

Curved / Bent MX Mechanical Mini
Yeah, Logitech seems to wait for major redesigns to fix part and process issues. I moved on to a Keychron K1 Max ten-keyless with brown switches and I love it. Such a nice typing experience and the battery lasts a long time. Some people seem to have quality control issues with Keychron, but I have o

Im about to pay $90 for Keychron K7, Is it worh it?
There aren't any reports for the K7 Max, probably because much fewer are being sold, but there are for the similar K1 Max, K3 Max, K5 Max, and K17 Max. For example, Keychron K17 Max QMK is my first disappointing keyboard in 20 years. Mostly the A key, but intermittently which key. Manufacturing date

Help understanding keyboards K1 QMK V6 and K1 Max
K1 V6 is Bluetooth-only (besides wired). Very little is known, but being a newer keyboard, the K1 V6 may or may not be less affected by the Keychron 2024 design and production quality issues with keychattering and missed keystrokes. The 2024 troubles weren't limited to the gasket keyboards, and ther
